Because of the abundance of open water along Route 4 and Lake Shore Drive in Auburn, many people are wondering if “Ice Out” has been called yet, but an aerial photo from above Whiting Farm on Summer Street illustrates how the south end is still frozen. According to Auburn Water & Sewer districts Superintendent Sid Hazelton, his staff believes it will be sometime this week when it will happen. If you are lucky enough to be nearby the day of ice out, you may hear a “tinkling” sound. As the ice melts it forms pencil-like crystals arranged vertically through the ice mass. The ice becomes crystallized or “honey combed”. The pencil-like ice crystals fall against each other like dominoes when the waves of open water nibble at the ice edge, creating that special sound.
